The chemical (monobenzylether of hydroquinone) that is most commonly used to bleach skin in Vitiligo cases has been tested in a number of clinical trials. None of the trials showed any cases of skin cancer as a result of the chemical use. It is toxic to the melanin cells but supposedly not to any of the other skin cells.
On a side note Michael Jackson has also been diagnosed with Lupus but that has been in remission.
I wonder though if the combination of Vilitigo, Lupus, treatments that he took for those two conditions and who knows what other drugs he may have used or treatments he may have tried could cause the skin cancer issues. Apparently one of the treatments for Vitiligo is Ultraviolet exposure - THAT could have an effect on skin cancer. Perhaps he tried that before he bleached the skin.
